We could be sad, depressed mad at the world & put his music on and soon enough instant better mood. I hope many of you out there got to enjoy a Van Halen Concert and see Eddie play.

I picked up a guitar about 12 months ago. And eddie has, and always was, one of my biggest inspirations for doing so. Coincidentally, I started learning Aint Talkin Bout Love only a week ago, and slowly getting there, its one of my favourite ever songs. Im only 24, but this song and Eddie's work, gives me a sense of nostalgia, which doesn't technically exist due to my age. That's how good he was, he created magic. Rest in peace Eddie. Saying your legacy will live on, will be an understatement 🤘

I had literally been playing Van Halen music all night the night before at the pool, and even posted 2 of their videos on a 70’s music Facebook group page, never realizing it was his last night here on earth. I hope he is looking down on us now, realizing how much he was adored and admired by millions of people, and smiling with that gorgeous grin that made me and so very many other females hearts melt ❤️❤️🙏🙏🥰🥰 R.I.P.

Never focus on how long you're here for, focus on what you achieve in that time. Procrastinators nightmare

Well said. R.I.P. EVH. 💜

I never thought I would have to watch this video for another 30 years

There's no such thing as the "greatest guitarist ever", but Eddie came closer to it than anyone else. RIP, Maestro

Not true at all blackmore Gary Moore Jimmy page Micheal from ufo Tony iommi are as influencing to many also srv hendrix rik emit beck

That iconic Frankenstein guitar belongs in the Smithsonian, and not because of its amazing design...RIP Eddie

[@christhayil8354]

I doubt he'd ever have it there; but yes....the Frankenstrat, a guitar that probably cost $500 to build, is likely now worth millions on legacy alone!!!!

[@jordanstephens826]

There is infact already one there , I was there about a year ago and they had a display , what they really need is a bigger one

[@MrRobarino]

The Frankenstein guitar is at the Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP) in Seattle WA. It's one of many guitars they have from many iconic guitarist.

[@Hensleyistyping]

Seeing it at the MET made me smile so hard. Something i only ever seen on tv was now directly in my face. To see the iconic design, the wear and tear, the scratches. How ok I’m about to start crying again. Rest In peace Eddie!

Wow, that footage at the end from the "Live: Without a Net" concert video brings back memories. I wore out two of those tapes watching them over and over and over. RIP Eddie...fucking legend.

Ive been a fan since 1980 I camped out for 2 days for tickets one of the many times I had the privledge of seeing them perform in concert. He is one of a kind. There will never be another EVH. He will be missed. Gone but never forgotten. RIP

[@clutchkman]

Amazing stuff! One of my favorite EVH riffs is the intro to Ain’t talking bout love. It’s just beautiful. He left an incredible legacy for us to enjoy.

[@spicygricey]

When I heard this I looked at the back of my bedroom door and saw my poster of him, so I turned to my left and on my table was an old guitar world magazine with eddie on the front cover, so I picked up my guitar and it was still tuned in E flat like eddie’s. Everywhere I turned, something of his was still there and will stay there, after I’m gone, after we’re gone after a thousand upon thousand more generations. He’s always here, bye buddy🔴⚪️⚫️

[@nerad1994]

We are just playing roles for a bit in this weird thing called life before we return to the oneness of the universe after death. Shakespeare said something along the lines of the Earth is a stage and everyone in it is an actor, the star of their own play. And damn have there been some amazing plays. The universe is a genius for creating all of us, and we all have our unique contributions, and no one was quite like Eddie Van Halen

[@rickleblanc8900]

Well, a lot of us were secretly hoping his health rumors were just rumors and he'd make this great comeback at some point and shock the world all over again. However, this is the worst shock imaginable. RIP Eddie, you inspired the world

[@jarhead2368]

Arguably the greatest to ever do it. RIP Eddie

[@thedoomslayer3266]

I was so happy to have gotten the chance to see Eddie Van Halen perform in concert with my father who introduced my brother and I to Van Halen’s music. My dad said when he was young he would always air guitar to every guitar solo Eddie did. Thank you Eddie for your amazing music and creating an incredible bond between my father and I.

[@ElliYeetYT]

I can’t imagine the pain that his brother Alex is dealing with now. 😢

[@abbeybelanger8118]

The greatest guitarist in history!!! He will be remembered as a great guitarist as well as a great father and brother. He revolutionized rock and helped make it what we know and love today and wrote tons of hits. May his legacy live on forever ROCK ON DUDES!!!

[@ulisseslopez3738]

The clip of him and Micheal Jackson is so heartbreaking yet so beautiful. Astonishing. God bless

So true. As a kid when I heard Jump for the first time my reaction was the same. Incredible music. ❤

[@mazklassa9338]

I'm not sure if the word is awe, but when you've got someone as talented as MJ kind of at odds as to what to do with himself in his own supreme domain, you know another genius has just entered the building. RIP Eddie Van Halen

RIP Eddie van halen you touched millions of people with your playing thank you

The term shredding was coined for this man. RIP EVH!!!

Even the way he throws the pick into the crowd is cool!!

I was lucky enough to see Van Halen live twice in the early 80's. What great performances. Only better concert I have ever seen was Prince.
